Basel, Switzerland & Newport Beach, Calif. – May 9, 2007 – Day Software (SWX:DAYN) (OTC:DYIHY), a leading provider of global content management and content infrastructure software, has announced that its CTO David Nuescheler has been nominated by the Java Community Process(sm) (JCPsm) Program for the Most Outstanding Spec Lead Award for his work with JSR 283. The winner will be announced May 9 at the JavaOne Conference in San Francisco.
JSR 283 is the next version of the groundbreaking JSR 170 standard, for which Nuescheler was nominated for the JCP Program’s Most Outstanding Spec Lead for Java Standard Edition / Enterprise Edition Award in 2005. The API for Java technology to the JCP and the first global standard for content repositories, JSR 170 was developed to eliminate the risks of proprietary vendor lock-in by improving interoperability between content repositories and applications. JSR 170 has played a major role in the evolution of the content industry. JSR 283, its enhancement, ensures that companies can easily manage content across large-scale enterprises.
“Rapid adoption of JSR 170 by leading enterprises and technology vendors has offered much insight into what can be done to improve the standard,” said Nuescheler. “This latest version includes substantial enhancements that will make it even easier for companies to simplify their repository architecture, increase efficiency and reduce cost. I’m honored to be recognized by the JCP Program for my work with JSR 283 and I’m committed to producing an implementation-independent API enabling easy access to content regardless of platform, or where it resides within a repository.”
JSR 283 was created to further expand and refine JSR 170 based on feedback from the Java developer community. The standard is widely supported by some of the biggest vendors in the enterprise content management (ECM) industry, including BEA Systems, EMC Documentum, Filenet, Hummingbird, IBM, Interwoven, JBOSS, Oracle, Sun Microsystems and Vignette.
Responsible for Day’s technology strategy and ongoing product development, Nuescheler joined the company in 1994. Credited for creating the basic concept for its ECM suite, Communiqué, he led its development to create a truly advanced content unification and presentation platform.
Tech savvy individuals who have successfully built consensus in spite of diverse corporate goals, and who focus on efficiency and execution are nominated for the Most Outstanding Spec Lead. The award recognizes the person who has best displayed these qualities in the past year, in leading a JSR for the Java Standard Edition or Java Enterprise Edition communities.
